cheers for your write-up on the gearbox phil- got me thru it.
It was only after i re-re-read it that i realised i shouldāve draw-filed the bearing surfaces- i polished them but probably put a slight radius on them.
Working bloody lovely though now š. Makes me appreciate the v11 setup as when itās good itās very good. I got a vfr400 this year and the action thru the box is no comparison. Which i wouldnāt have expected as when i saw inside the v11 guts it looked soā¦ agricultural?
had a blast on a pals uly once, i kept hitting the end of the revs cos i was used to the v11. I love that the guzzis have that extra 2 thousand revs- really feel good in comparison
the po had cut 99.99 of the old lid away, leaving a sliver of plasique, which lost the strength to bolt down firmly. It has a jury-rigged ally frame i made atm- which is crap
my v11 is missing itās airbox lid- i had to cobble a frame together to hold the filter down but would prefer to get hold of a lid really. She does roar on open throttle tho
Hmmm itās all going suspiciously smoothly nowā¦ manky old gaskets out, and then i found 4 spare gaskets kicking about the garage- 2 copper ones and 2 composite badgersā¦ ace!
